The Downtown Historic District includes nearly 70 structures and buildings dating from the 1880s into the 1960s. A few of the more prominent are featured here. In April 1997, a massive flood and concurrent fires heavily damaged the area. The fires destroyed nine major buildings and severely damaged many others. Flood water was four feet deep throughout the District. A print brochure of the Downtown Historic District is available at the City Hall Info Center or through the HPC office.
